Lately I have heard a lot about SFS. The bits and pieces I heard about it said it integrated PGP into it. If anyone knows about where I can get more info about, I would appreciate it. If SFS has nothing to do with PGP and I have heard wrong, I give you my deepest apologies for bringing it up on this list.
Peter Gutmann's SFS (Secure File System) is a highly regarded program for encrypting entire disk partitions at the sector level. It's a low-level device driver that encrypts your disk writes and decrypts your disk reads transparently on the fly, so your disk is always in an encrypted state. Apart from being a quality encryption product, it has nothing to do with PGP, secure email, etc. It's for a whole different (though very valuable) purpose...
